This paper presents a simple, post-synthesis treatment of carbon dots (C-dots) that relies on the oxidizing activity sodium hypochlorite to induce surface oxidation, etching and pronounced structural rearrangements. The thus treated C-dots (ox-C-dots) exhibit up six-fold enhancement in quantum yield compared non-oxidised analogues, while maintaining low levels cytotoxicity against HeLa U87 cell lines. In addition, we demonstrate range polymeric materials (polyurethane sponge, polyvinylidene fluoride membrane, polyester fabric) impregnated with ox-C-dots show advanced antifungal properties Talaromyces pinophilus, their untreated counterparts fail do so.
